For many years I shot Sierra's with good success but recently switched over to Berger VLD's and very iimpressed by their performance. Most of our shots are long (300+) where we hunt. My hunting buddies 14 year old son dropped an Oryx at 318 yds with a single shot using 155 gr. VLD'S. Animal bolted 45 yds then rolled up and was dead by the time we reached her. These are tough animals.
